I.B., of Ketchikan, sent in this recipe from "The Three Rivers Cookbook" from her hometown in Sewickley, Pa. The book was a gift from a dear friend many years ago. I love this recipe because it is easy, tasty and I could prepare it in my sleep. Thanks, I.B., for sharing another one of your great recipes.

I was on the phone talking recipes with my friend C.B., of Bend, Ore. C.B. sent me this recipe to share with our AAE readers and says, "This is a great recipe, and they make a great treat packed in a school lunch."
